For those interested:
The reduction in prices of nightbusses in jutland/aarhus is actually an initiative pushed by students in order to make it more appealing to use (maybe after a night out) to avoid accidents or unsafe situations and overall improve safety

[GoforKrogh]

"we want people to use public transport way more, thus we've raised the price on the tickets again!"

[Bamsebjoern]

As a Dane, who got most of it down.

I would like to applaud your way of informing people 👏😉

We got one of the most confusing tax systems, and Labour systems on earth, but when "you" undertand the concept, it's a gift... of sorts... 😂

However. ❤ and a happy 2025 guys 😉

[hansmarheim]

Great channel. Very informative. Thanks for creating and uploading.. 👍

[RuthAmberRawling]

From $37K to $65K that's the minimum range of profit return every month I think it's not a bad one for me, now I have enough to pay bills and take care of my family

[cavalr]

I think it's interesting. More and more YouTube channels are popping up from Americans who lives in Denmark. It's nice to see more people talking about my country.

[NONFamers]

Thank you for sharing this! As a native Dane, I was reminded of several of the issues you brought up, and even discovered a couple I was not aware of. Danish news coverage is really getting more and more sub-par...

[MortenPeterHaghJensen]

I am so impressed that you know more about what's going on in Denmark than most Danes 🙂

[petrakubalcik]

Thank you so much for all your videos including these “what’s new for the year” 🎉 I’m moving to Copenhagen this year and have been binge watching your channel! Thank you so much 🎉❤🎉

[avayer]

Mange tak. I watch the news but have missed a few of these.

[JRBendixen]

Great subject.
Asbestos removal has for some time been highly regulated. The workers were probably young foreigners lured into the dangerous work, not knowing the regulations.
If anybody see any people not in full suits and facemasks as they should be by law, removing aspestos, then Phone the authorities at once bc. It would be highly illegal work.

[Gwenx]

Damn i had not heard about the flag rules again..
I love these videos, sometimes its nice to also hear perspectives and news from a foreigner, who may experience some things much more differently!
Like the drivers license thing, i would just not have known that it was a thing! (Yes i don't really watch or read much news in these very "interesting" times and it has its drawbacks unfortunately)

[WatcherAF]

Meget informativ video. Forhåbentlig sker der intet dårligt i dette nye år 🙏

[tommyvictorbuch]

You should learn the term "jyske dollars, " mate 😁 Very important!

[killsteel]

As a Dane living in Aarhus this video made me so happy to watch!!!!

Also we’re known to have the youngest age for drinking and smoking so I’m happy it’s getting fixed

Also my rant is now 2.389kr!!! so I’m happy more money to go out with!!!

[Mamurai]

I think this is amazing for people who are not used to the danish system, and want information. Do you plan to do more things like this, like taxes and other things that will benefit for example people coming from the US, UK or anywhere else really.

[RissaTolentino-fcol]

Thank you for sharing this video greetings from kapiso mo vlog family have a great day

[peterkragelund]

Is this background music/muzak really necessary? And if it is, maybe lower? It´s distracting for me.
Thanks for the heads up about bike transport in public transport in Aarhus.

[superbrian]

Did you partner stop taking part in your videos ? It is a long time ago, I have seen him sit there and nod whilst you were talking :)

[peeweegunz]

i never understood how paying more for something makes it more sustainable? to me it just sounds like just another source of tax revenue wrapped in fancy words to jusitify the increased fees.
